15 Jump Squats

15 Pushups

30 Second plank

15 Bicycle crunches

If you can only do 5 or 10 of each movement at a time, that is A-Okay! What’s important is that you’re getting started.

Get The Moves:

Jump Squats

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart.

Start by doing a regular squat. Then when you get to the bottom of your squat position, jump up.

When you land, lower your body back to your squat position to complete one rep.

Pushups

Place your hands on the ground, under your shoulders.

Put your body into a high plank position with your legs, core, and back out straight and arms locked.

If you are a beginner, it’s ok to do push-ups from your knees rather than toes.

Lower your body to the floor, keeping your back flat and elbows tucked close to your body. Continue lowering until your check touches the floor.

Push your body back up to the starting position, keeping your core engaged.
